Traditional and modern — Peru seems to be a blend of both. The country depends on tourism and so in tourist areas people wear traditional dress, as this woman. Western dress is also common. The people we met were unfailingly polite — to be expected. They did make comments about us in Spanish, which Margie could understand. not always flattering. It must be strange to put your heritage on display.
